Workplace harassment

Why this training?

Workplace harassment is an increasingly pressing issue, particularly since the 2023 reform. Employers are not only required to comply with their legal obligations but must also take concrete action to protect their employees and limit their liability.

This hands-on training is based on real-life case studies and practical exercises. It combines a review of legal obligations with operational tools to help you prevent, detect, and effectively manage situations of workplace harassment.

Learning objectives:

• Clarify the key concepts: moral harassment, sexual harassment, and related behaviors

• Identify the impacts of harassment on the victim, the team, and the organization
• Implement preventive measures and appropriate workplace policies

• Conduct internal investigations in compliance with legal requirements while avoiding common pitfalls
• Understand the role of staff representatives and competent authorities
• Adopt the right response: protect victims and witnesses, sanction the perpetrator
